Apostle of the Crucified Lord: A Theological Introduction to Paul and His Letters
Gorman, Michael J
Unlike the many books that treat the apostle Paul merely as a historical figure and his letters as literary relics, this new study by Michael Gorman focuses on the theological message of Paul's writings, particularly what they have to say to the contemporary church.
An innovative and comprehensive treatment of Paul, including commentary on all of the Pauline letters, Gorman's Apostle of the Crucified Lord unpacks the many dimensions of Paul's thought carefully and holistically. Six introductory chapters provide background discussion on Paul's world, his résumé, his letters, his gospel, his spirituality, and his theology, while the main body of the book covers in turn and in full detail each of the Pauline epistles. Gorman gives the context of each letter, offers a careful reading of the text, and colors his words with insightful quotations from earlier interpreters of Paul.
Enhancing the text itself are questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter and numerous photos, maps, and tables throughout. All in all, Apostle of the Crucified Lord is the ideal book for students and any other readers interested in seriously engaging Paul's challenging letters.
THIS COMPREHENSIVE, WIDELY USED TEXT by Michael Gorman presents a theologically focused, historically grounded interpretation of the apostle Paul and raises significant questions for engaging Paul today. After providing substantial background information on Paul's world, career, letters, gospel, spirituality, and theology, Gorman covers in full detail each of the thirteen Pauline epistles. Enhancing the text are questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter as well as numerous photos, maps, and tables throughout.
The new introduction in this second edition helpfully situates the book within current approaches to Paul. Gorman also brings the conversation up-to-date with major recent developments in Pauline studies and devotes greater attention to themes of participation, transformation, resurrection, justice, and peace.

Be Comforted: Feeling Secure in the Arms of God: OT Commentary Isaiah
Wiersbe, Warren W
For anyone who thinks that comfort is equivalent to pity and that it is only priceless to those who need an emotional crutch, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe applies the words of the prophet Isaiah to prove that God's comfort is no such thing. The word comfort actually translates to repent in Hebrew; our English translation, however, adds another dimension to the word since it originated from two Latin words meaning with strength.
With definitions and insights like this, the pastor of pastors and phenomenal author Warren Wiersbe continues to enliven the Scriptures as he weaves the words of Isaiah with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions for every chapter, creating a study guide that can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. With over 4 million copies of his Be series alone in circulation, he is a man who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of God, to communicating it in such a way that the masses see its relevance for today.

Be Reverent: Bowing Before Our Awesome God: OT Commentary: Ezekiel
The modern church has become a comfortable place, as congregations focus on creating warm and welcoming environments. But have casual attitudes replaced reverence for the Lord? The prophet Ezekiel was called to remind God's people about His holy and glorious nature, and that message remains as relevant today as when it was first delivered. This study examines Ezekiel's mission to describe the indescribable, a God beyond imagining, a King worthy of our reverence.
Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe's best-selling "BE" commentary series, BE Reverent has now been updated with study questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe calls us to rediscover the awesomeness of the Lord. Filled with inspiring words and images, Ezekiel's timeless message will draw you into a deeper level of holy reverence for our God.

Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The Old Testament
Bergsma, John
Although many Catholics are familiar with the four Gospels and other writings of the New Testament, for most, reading the Old Testament is like walking into a foreign land. Who wrote these forty-six books? When were they written? Why were they written? What are we to make of their laws, stories, histories, and prophecies? Should the Old Testament be read by itself or in light of the New Testament?
John Bergsma and Brant Pitre offer readable in-depth answers to these questions as they introduce each book of the Old Testament. They not only examine the literature from a historical and cultural perspective but also interpret it theologically, drawing on the New Testament and the faith of the Catholic Church. Unique among introductions, this volume places the Old Testament in its liturgical context, showing how its passages are employed in the current Lectionary used at Mass.
Accessible to nonexperts, this thorough and up-to-date introduction to the Old Testament can serve as an idea textbook for biblical studies. Its unique approach, along with its maps, illustrations, and other reference materials, makes it a valuable resource for seminarians, priests, Scripture scholars, theologians, and catechists, as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible.

Envoy of the Messiah
Pimentel, Stephen

Envoy of the Messiah invites the reader to walk in the footsteps of St. Paul in his mission to the Gentiles, as told in Acts of the Apostles 16-28. Through nine lessons, each including stimulating discussion questions, the reader is challenged to encounter Christ in the early Church and to follow the example of St. Paul in their lives today. Written in accessible language, yet filled with helpful information and scriptural references, this book is perfect for beginners as well as more advanced biblical scholars. Scripture scholar and popular author Steve Ray praises Envoy of the Messiah for its clarity and theological insight: "Stephen Pimentel's book takes you through the recorded travels and teachings of St. Paul as revealed by Luke. He provides interesting insights and theological understanding useful to both the average reader and the scholar. This book is easy to read, yet full of helpful information and Scriptural detail. It is too bad we can't insert most of this book into our Bibles as footnotes." About the Author: Stephen Pimentel is a writer and speaker on Catholic apologetics and Scripture. He is the author of Witnesses of the Messiah: On the Acts of the Apostles 1-15 (Emmaus Road, 2002) and a contributor to Catholic for a Reason III: Scripture and the Mystery of the Mass (Emmaus Road, 2004).

Introduction to the Prophets: Their Stories, Sayings, and Scrolls
Leclerc, Thomas L
Now in a second edition, this popular introductory text considers not only each of the prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible, but also treats the stories of prophets found in the Pentateuch and historical books. The biblical texts are approached from several different perspectives. The author places each story and prophetic book in its historical context to understand the concerns the prophets addressed in their own time. He examines literary aspects and theological significance of the texts, and finally the significance of the prophet in post-biblical traditions, especially in the Jewish and Christian lectionaries. Among the new features: ● An updated table of contents and visual aids was well as reference resources in "For Further Study." ● "Questions for Review" at the end of each chapter. ● A chapter on the book of Daniel. +

Whitacre, Rodney A
The Gospel of John declares its purpose clearly—"these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Thus it fulfills a dual function, encouraging believers and providing them with evidences for proclaiming that Jesus is God's Messiah, the divine, incarnate Son of God.
Christians today, as in the first century, can draw strength and courage from John's telling of the story of Jesus, a telling that consistently reflects not only the words and deeds of Jesus but their inner significance. We are called to worship as we find the Father, Son and Spirit revealed in the Gospel. And as in Jesus we discover God's light, life and love, we learn to respond in faith, humility and obedience.
Throughout, Whitacre explains what the gospel meant to its original hearers and its application for us today.

Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament
Wright, Christopher J H
It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God.
In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations and yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline and forgiveness.
This is the God whom Jesus knew, and whom we can know, as Father. Such knowledge of God is far from merely devotional or doctrinal, but governs our worldview, personal and social ethics, and expectations of the future.

Meeting St. Mark Today: Understanding the Man, His Mission, and His Message
Harrington, Daniel J
Meeting St. Mark Today, the final book in Fr. Daniel J. Harrington's series on the Gospels, is a straightforward, practical resource for lay Catholics who want a better understanding of this synoptic Gospel. And, like the other books in the Meeting . . . Today series, it effectively closes the gap between modern biblical scholarship and authentic Christian spirituality.
The book begins with background information on the Evangelist and his Gospel, and then moves quickly into a concise but complete narrative analysis of the Gospel. Part Three of the book explains how Mark's Gospel provides answers to two essential questions: What did Jesus suffer?, and Why did Jesus suffer? It also proposes answers to the universal question, Why do people suffer? The book's final section includes five meditations on suffering. Additionally, each chapter concludes with questions for reflection and discussion, ideal for group or individual Bible study.
Ultimately, Meeting St. Mark Today opens the theological treasure chest of this Gospel, enabling us to see how Jesus' suffering and the mystery of the cross can reshape our faith and our lives.
A clear, concise, and respectful presentation of Mark's Gospel--and what Jesus' suffering means for us
Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, is well known for his superb New Testament scholarship, but he is also highly regarded for his exceptional ability to bridge the gap between modern biblical scholarship and authentic Christian spirituality. In Meeting St. Mark Today, the final book in this series on the Gospels, Harrington
has provided another straightforward, practical resource for lay Catholics who want a better understanding of this
synoptic Gospel.
The book begins with background information on the Evangelist and his Gospel. It moves quickly into a concise but complete narrative analysis of the Gospel, which clearly demonstrates the human side of Jesus. Part Three of the book explains how Mark's Gospel provides answers to two essential questions: What did Jesus suffer?, and Why did Jesus suffer? It also proposes answers to the universal question, Why do people suffer? The book's final section includes five meditations on suffering, based on lectionary readings from Year B (St. Mark) in the Sunday lectionary cycle.
Each chapter concludes with questions for reflection and discussion, making Meeting St. Mark Today an ideal resource for individual Scripture study or group Bible study. The readings from Mark's Gospel for all Sundays and Feasts in Cycle B are listed at the end of the book.
Ultimately, Meeting St. Mark Today opens the theological treasure chest of this easily overlooked Gospel, enabling us to see how Jesus' suffering and the mystery of the cross can reshape our faith and our lives.

Meeting St. Paul Today: Understanding the Man, His Mission, and His Message
The teachings of St. Paul permeate just about everything Christians believe and practice, but many of us know very little about this great apostle of the Church.
In Meeting Paul Today, one of the most respected scholars in the Catholic faith, Daniel Harrington, SJ, brings Paul and his teachings to life. Harrington, writing with great respect for the apostle and his ministry, covers three main topics in this helpful and highly readable book for any discerning Christian. First, he describes what Paul was really like, from his days as a Pharisee to his arduous years as a missionary. Second, he helps readers interpret Paul's letters through literary, historical, and theological lenses. Finally, he thoughtfully surveys the specific purpose, major points, and other compelling particulars of each epistle.
Mission of the Messiah: On the Gospel of Luke
Gray, Tim
Mission of the Messiah is a compelling study of the Gospel of Luke that presents the messianic mission of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. The review questions at the end of each chapter provide fresh material for individual reflection or group discussion. This book is a must for anyone whose heart is burning to know and love Christ more profoundly. From the Introduction: The goal of this study of Luke is to give a taste of that Bible study Jesus gave on the road to Emmaus. As we study God's holy Word, our hearts too will burn with the fire of God's love (cf. Lk. 12:49), just as the disciples experienced God's love on the dusty road to Emmaus. If we read the Gospel with the prayer and contemplation that Saint Thérèse did, we too shall find "fresh lights there, hidden and enthralling meanings." Dr. Tim Gray is the President of the Augustine Institute, an MA program in Sacred Scripture and Evangelization & Catechesis in Denver. He is also Professor of Sacred Scripture at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. He holds a PhD in Biblical Studies from Catholic University of America, a Th.M. in Scripture from Duke University, and an M.A. in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. A nationally renowned speaker, Dr. Gray has filmed numerous series for EWTN. He is a partner with Jeff Cavins in The Great Adventure Bible Timeline Catholic Bible study series. Dr. Gray resides in Littleton, Colorado with his wife, Kris, and their son Joseph. About the Series: The Kingdom studies explore the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ as revealed in the New Testament and carried on by His Church. Solid, trustworthy content in language anyone can appreciate.

Psalm Basics for Catholics: Seeing Salvation History in a New Way
In his third back-to-basics look at the Bible, popular theology professor and bestselling Catholic author and speaker John Bergsma highlights the presence of Jesus in the psalms and helps us understand their meaning in light of the story of salvation. Bergsma employs the same conversational style and simple illustrations found in Bible Basics for Catholics and New Testament Basics for Catholics to help bridge the gap between the world of contemporary Catholics and the ancient world of the Bible.
In Psalm Basics for Catholics, John Bergsma introduces us to King David, the story of Israel, and the salvation of the Jewish people through the coming of Jesus.
For more than two thousand years, Christians have sung, chanted, and prayed the psalms, a practice of worship inherited from our Jewish ancestors in faith. Whether prayed during Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, or in personal reflection, these ancient hymns continue to be a guiding light for Catholics. Yet rarely do we step back and look at how the psalms fit into the story of salvation revealed in the Bible the way Bergsma does here.
Bergsma also addresses common questions about the psalms, including
Do the psalms really predict Jesus?
What do we make of the so-called curse psalms?
Why do we pray the psalms in the Liturgy of the Hours?
How do I read and pray the psalms?
Bergsma's insightful, practical examination of the psalms helps Catholics see how their promise is fulfilled in Christ.
Reflections on the Psalms
Lewis, C S
A repackaged edition of the revered author's moving theological work in which he considers the most poetic portions from Scripture and what they tell us about God, the Bible, and faith.
In this wise and enlightening book, C. S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics--examines the Psalms. As Lewis divines the meaning behind these timeless poetic verses, he makes clear their significance in our daily lives, and reminds us of their power to illuminate moments of grace.
Run with the Horses: The Quest for Life at Its Best (Commemorative)
In Jeremiah 12:5 God says to the prophet, "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" We all long to live life at its best―to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence―to run with the horses in the jungle of life? In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. His writing is filled with humor and self-reflection, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best.
In Jeremiah 12:5 God says to the prophet, If you're worn out in this footrace with men, what makes you think you can race against horses? We all long to live life at its best--to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence--to run with the horses instead of shuffling along with the crowd? In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. In his signature pastoral style, he invites readers to grasp the biblical truth that each person's story of faith is completely original. Peterson's writing is filled with humor and self-reflection, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best. This special commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Eric Peterson's homily at his father's memorial service, as well as a six-session Bible study guide for individuals or groups.

Sacred Scripture Series - Acts of the Apostles
Kurz, William S Sj
What message was the author of Acts seeking to convey, and what would the original audience have understood? How is God speaking to believers today through Acts as it has been used by the church throughout the centuries? In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture, respected New Testament scholar William Kurz offers a close reading and explanation of the entire narrative of Acts, grounded in the original Greek but keyed to the NABRE for liturgical use. This volume, like each in the series, relates Scripture to life, is faithfully Catholic, and is supplemented by features designed to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use it more effectively.

Tourists visit Hawaii for the sun and sea. Now, solar and reservoir water could be central to the way the state's only electric co-op produces electricity well into the next century.
"We want to pump water from the Mana Reservoir to the Puu Opae Reservoir using solar power, and release the water to generate electricity for our members," said David Bissell, CEO of Kauai Island Utility Cooperative.
The project is part of an overall plan to revitalize agriculture and restore habitat on the western side of Kauai Island. Restoration and maintenance of the reservoirs and associated infrastructure are key to this effort.
The Lihue-based co-op will spend up to $350,000 on preliminary survey, engineering and permitting work for the pumped-storage project. It could eventually produce about 25 megawatts of hydroelectric power, or enough to meet about 15 percent of the island's electricity needs.
Plans include a five-mile pipeline to move the water between the two reservoirs and an 8-kw solar array to power pumps that will move the water uphill during the day. Release of the water through turbines at a power house would help meet co-op demand when its other generation facilities are not producing adequate power.
"We see the Puu Opae pumped-storage project as an investment in the co-op's future that could still be providing energy 100 years from now," said Bissell. "It will help ensure energy and water resources for our members, and get us closer to our goal of meeting 70 percent of our energy demand with renewable resources by 2030."
The co-op has worked closely with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, the state's Agribusiness Development Corporation and local organizations to develop sustainable projects. If the pumped generation project is built, KIUC has agreed to support several initiatives designed to improve and maintain reservoirs, existing streams and drainage serving the area.
The overall project could cost up to $90 million and construction could begin in 2020, co-op officials said.


WOMAD (World of Music Art and Dance) is a wonderfully eclectic festival, attracting a variety of visitors (including an admittedly large proportion of bare-footed middle class families seeking a weekend of escapism) and an even greater variety of entertainment sourced from around the world. Situated on an idyllic site (which includes an arboretum), it is often recognised as a family festival, bringing together a diversity of music, arts, dance and food to suit a range of tastes. Although I am yet to partake in the dance workshops, cooking classes or yoga mornings on offer, each year I come away having heard some fantastic new music. Highlights have included Portico Quartet, Jambinai and Songhoy Blues, as well as some old favourites, such as Gil Scott Heron, Jimmy Cliff and Tinariwen. One of the things I enjoy most about the festival is not knowing exactly what I will encounter, not having an itinerary of bands to see but instead getting to discover new acts.
The cultural diversity of the festival was the focus of a research project undertaken by BOP Consulting, which sought to understand the impact of WOMAD on visitors, particularly the effects of viewing performances by musicians from around the world on people's cultural identities. I was quick to respond to an advert by BOP asking for volunteers with an interest in social research as well as audio and visual methods, feeling like an ideal candidate given my recent research into the soundscapes of walking. Happily, I was selected as a volunteer, as my visit to WOMAD this year was the first time that I found an outlet for some of the research skills I have acquired since studying for the Society and Space MSc.
The research carried out for BOP could be situated as falling within both interviewing and ethnographic methods. Volunteers took photographs to document the kinds of activities taking place, and conducted semi-structured interviews with festival punters to develop an understanding of their experiences. Although at first the process felt a little awkward, much like any interview, the participants soon settled into the process, providing brief insights into the attraction of WOMAD compared to other festivals.
The work was a fantastic opportunity, not only since we were asked to give a very short amount of time in exchange for a weekend ticket, but also because it provided a chance to hear about people's experiences at WOMAD and note the ways people engaged differently with the festival space. It was of particular interest to me to experience the ways qualitative methods are utilised for non-academic purposes. However, for me, the experience itself opened up further questions about the potential of qualitative methods more broadly.
Cultural geographers are increasingly challenging methodological conventions through an investigation into the potential of experimental and creative methodologies (Butler, 2006; Dewsbury, 2010; Enigbokan and Patchett, 2011). For me, the significance of such approaches is that they can be better attuned to the immanence of the event – that is, to the emergent, transient and indefinable processes that constitute it. At a music festival, this might be the ways gatherings of bodies shape pathways and determine actions, or how perceptive and sensory affects are activated when listening to a poignant song in the rain. Methodological approaches that can attend to such encounters are necessary because many of the 'positive impacts' that we might find at a festival are ones that are not easily written into an assessment form or given in response to a set of preselected questions, but rather arise in ineffable and indeterminate moments.
The question that has stayed with me following my work at WOMAD, then, is what kinds of creative methodologies might be translatable for mainstream research projects, allowing them to attend to these less 'writable' impacts of an event? Whilst the participants' responses to questions explain the reasons a select group decided to visit the festival and what they enjoyed about it, these responses do little to account for the atmospheric and affective encounters that shape a festival experience. Equally, a few quick snaps on an iPad will provide some visual documentation of a site, but are less effective at stimulating a sensory experience with a spectator (one that is different with each encounter). Of course, the kinds of methodologies indicated here may appear less rigorous, objective and reliable than conventional methods, but in their openness, experimental methods could allow us to grasp that 'something' of an event or experience that is not so easily understood, or the nuances not so easily grasped.

(Nov. 30, 2018) – Coming into the second heat of the FIL World Cup doubles race in Whistler, Thomas Steu & Lorenz Koller had been the fast team in every heat. That changed on their second run, and the result was a German sweep of the podium.
The Austrian duo had a very sloppy second run, putting down the 11th fastest run of the heat to drop from first to fourth, allowing all three German doubles teams to move up ahead of them. Olympic bronze medalists Toni Eggert (sliding on a broken leg) and Sascha Benecken won gold to lead Germany, with Robin Geueke & David Gamm finishing ahead of Tobias Wendl & Tobias Arlt to round out the podium.
Despite finishing third, Wendl & Arlt set the fastest ever one-heat time in Whistler, with a 38.292 downtime. The previous track record coming into the race was 36.347, also set by Wendl & Arlt.
Steu & Koller hung on for fourth, just .001 ahead of Canadians Tristan Walker & Justin Snith. Latvians Andris & Juris Sics rounded out the top six.
American duo Chris Mazdzer & Jayson Terdiman came into the second heat in the fifth position behind the Germans and Steu & Koller. They lost a bit of ground on their second run and fell back to seventh in their second World Cup race as a team.


Properly preparing for the heat and humidity is a must if you want to successfully finish and enjoy the Peachtree Road Race.
The Atlanta Track Club recommends that you dress in lightly colored, loose-fitting running clothes.
Costumes, headgear or any other clothing that restricts sweating is strongly discouraged.
Be sure to wear shoes that fit properly.
Try out your running outfit before race day to make sure nothing causes chafing.
During the Peachtree Road Race, drink lots of water.
Water stations will be located at every mile on the 6.2 mile course on both sides of the road, with clear signs that you cannot miss.
When you pass by the water stations, pick up two cups, one to drink and one to dump over your head to help you stay cool.
There will also be water sprays for you to run under throughout the course.
REI also carries CamelBak waterbottle belts, another great option. Test any running belt before race day to make sure you're comfortable wearing it while running.
Signs include dizziness, light-headedness, unsteadiness, headache, nausea, chills and goosebumps. If you have any of these symptoms, immediately alert one of the hundreds of volunteers or police officers located along the entire course. Ambulances will be located along the course and ready to go wherever needed.
Be sure to fill out your name and emergency contact information on the reverse side of your race number. Add any relevant medical information if needed. If you feel that you need your ID, store it in the zippered pocket on your running shorts or in a small waist pack.

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted this week that people burn the American flag should be subjected to some form of punishment, such as prison time or loss of citizenship. The Supreme Court has ruled that flag-burning was protected as a form of "symbolic speech."
Colin Kaepernick, who comes to Soldier Field next Sunday to face the Bears, elected this season to express his concern about what he called "systematic oppression" by not standing for the national anthem before games. Is the San Francisco 49ers quarterback concerned that the incoming Administration may look to punish anthem-sitters?
"No, I'm not concerned about that at all," Kaepernick said via conference call on Wednesday. "To me, if things go down that path, those are human-rights issues. Patriotism is earned; it's not something you demand. For me, I don't see those as issues. I'll continue on my path as I have planned."
Kaepernick began his sitting protest during San Francisco preseason games last August. It ignited a national firestorm because it was viewed as anti-police, a protest against police violence.
But for Kaepernick, it was never a police issue.
"I've been very clear from the beginning that I'm against systematic oppression," Kaepernick said. "Police violence is just one of the symptoms of that oppression. For me that is something that needs to be addressed but it's not the whole issue."
Kaepernick said he has been in touch with groups and individuals in Chicago, which has been plagued with gun violence in general. The goal is to support those groups trying to effect change and that has been Kaepernick's end game as well, he said.
"For me, I want to try help create change and also help empower other people, other organizations, that are doing the work to continue to do the work, and people that aren't, to get involved to help create that change," Kaepernick said. "Because this isn't something that's going to be changed by one person or a couple of people. It's going to take communities coming together and creating the change that needs to be made, and the country coming together."

What should you know about the estate administration process?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Thursday, April 19, 2018.
When a person passes away, loved ones and other parties must deal with the responsibility of administering the estate. This is the process of gathering assets and distributing them according to the will. In some cases, estate administration can be quite complex, and if you are facing this task, it can be beneficial to learn more about what to expect from this process.
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Friday, March 23, 2018.
When most people think of estate planning, they think of what will happen to their assets after they die. Estate planning is much more than that, though. Protecting yourself in the event of mental or physical incapacitation is also a very important part of the estate planning process. This is something Pennsylvania residents can do with a legal document known as a power of attorney.

If you are going through the end of a marriage, you may be facing a variety of difficult decisions, many of which could have an impact on your life. One area that may be of concern for you is the uncertainty involved in how your divorce will affect your financial future.
Does a forensic accountant make sense for your divorce?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Monday, January 22, 2018.
A divorce can bring many changes. If you remain careful, you can limit the amount of surprises and negative fallout during a divorce, especially regarding your finances.
Can I appeal a divorce court ruling?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Sunday, December 24, 2017.
You went through the dissolution of marriage process. You tried so hard to reach a settlement through negotiations in order to avoid going to court, but it just did not work out in the end. Your divorce case ended up going to trial and a judge had the final say on your settlement terms. You do not believe the final terms will serve your best interests in the long run, particularly in regard to your alimony order. What can you do?
Which estate planning documents will help you meet your goals?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Friday, November 17, 2017.
You've been thinking about the future and the idea that life is short, even for those who are fortunate enough to maintain good health in mind and body. However, after reading several news stories about various music and movie stars who died without ever executing final wills and testaments, you have determined that you do not wish to place your Pennsylvania loved ones in a similar situation when the time comes for you to go. The stress and headaches they may endure if your estate becomes intestate are many.
Could collaborative law help you reach a custody agreement?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Wednesday, September 20, 2017.
In recent years, more parents with family law issues have turned to alternative methods of resolving their disputes instead of going to court. The days of "airing dirty laundry" in open court are largely reserved for Hollywood entertainment. Not only do people not want the expensive and time-consuming court experience, but they also want to reach an agreement with which everyone can live.

As you prepare to get married, you may feel an overwhelming sense of joy and excitement. The love you have for your future spouse may allow you to believe that your marriage will continue on for the rest of your lives. While this idea can seem romantic and appealing, you may also have a few "what if" type thoughts in your mind. Rather than thinking you should not entertain the idea of your marriage potentially coming to an end, you may wish to take steps to prepare ahead of time.
Is a special needs trust the right addition to your estate plan?
On behalf of Family Legal Center, LLC posted in blog on Sunday, July 23, 2017.
Caring for a loved one with special needs is challenging at times, but one of your biggest concerns may involve how you will ensure the care of this individual when you are no longer able to provide that care yourself. With some additions to your estate plan, you can be certain that you have protections in place that will protect your family member for years to come.

Q: Cartopy: Albers Equal Area projection not working I am trying to plot a topographic raster in Cartopy. I have downloaded some sample GeoTIFF data from this database: https://zenodo.org/record/3940482. I then import the data and metadata using the Python GDAL library:
from osgeo import gdal

data_object = gdal.Open(path_geotiff)
data_array = data_object.ReadAsArray()
data_transform = data_object.GetGeoTransform()
proj_wkt = data_object.GetProjection()

I need to get the projection as a Cartopy object, which I achieve using the PyProj library for an intermediate step:
from pyproj.crs import CRS
proj_crs = CRS.from_wkt(proj_wkt)

import cartopy.crs as ccrs
proj_cartopy = ccrs.Projection(proj_crs)

This seems to work, and indicates that the projection is one of those supported by Cartopy, Albers Equal Area:
>>> print(proj_cartopy)
PROJCRS["Albers",BASEGEOGCRS["NAD83",DATUM["North American Datum 1983",ELLIPSOID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101004,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],ID["EPSG",4269]],CONVERSION["unnamed",METHOD["Albers Equal Area",ID["EPSG",9822]],PARAMETER["Latitude of false origin",23,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],ID["EPSG",8821]],PARAMETER["Longitude of false origin",-106,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],ID["EPSG",8822]],PARAMETER["Latitude of 1st standard parallel",29.5,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],ID["EPSG",8823]],PARAMETER["Latitude of 2nd standard parallel",45.5,ANGLEUNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],ID["EPSG",8824]],PARAMETER["Easting at false origin",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1],ID["EPSG",8826]],PARAMETER["Northing at false origin",0,LENGTHUNIT["metre",1],ID["EPSG",8827]]],CS[Cartesian,2],AXIS["easting",east,ORDER[1],LENGTHUNIT["metre",1,ID["EPSG",9001]]],AXIS["northing",north,ORDER[2],LENGTHUNIT["metre",1,ID["EPSG",9001]]]]

I then try to create a GeoAxes object:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
subplot_kw = dict(projection = proj_cartopy)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw = subplot_kw)

However, I receive a NotImplemented error:
File "/Users/my_username/opt/anaconda3/envs/carto/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cartopy/mpl/geoaxes.py", line 1598, in _boundary path, = cpatch.geos_to_path(self.projection.boundary)
File "/Users/my_username/opt/anaconda3/envs/carto/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cartopy/crs.py", line 679, in boundary
raise NotImplementedError

Please help me to understand this error (I know I could manually enter the projection, for example using the EPSG code, but I prefer to keep my current automatic method if possible).

A: From what I understand, this is something that is not fully supported yet.

The Collegiate Nurse Educators of Greater Kansas City and the Kansas City Area Nurse Executives have jointly developed both a generic clinical orientation agreement and an orientation handbook.
The 2018-2019 Orientation Manual includes the following.
The agreement, which includes a description of assumptions regarding faculty and staff roles in clinical education, documentation and record keeping requirements for faculty and students, as well as agency specific and faculty orientation expectations.
The orientation handbook provides a generic orientation — based on Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Medicare regulations and recommendations from the Association of Professional Infection Control (APIC) — for faculty use with students.
Nursing students should read the 2018-19 Orientation Manual.
Take the online CNE/KCANE Orientation Competency Exam through your school's testing system. Please see your instructor for further details.
If you have any questions concerning the Clinical Orientation Manual or the CNE /KCANE Orientation Competency Exam, please contact your clinical faculty instructor. This handbook is designed to be used at the beginning of the clinical education program with review and retesting for competency on an annual basis thereafter. Students and faculty are expected to demonstrate 90 percent competency annually prior to clinical experiences. Test results will be kept on file at the nursing program.

Official Language and Symbol: Northern Ireland Good Friday Agreement
Strand Three
Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity:
Economic, Social and Cultural Issues:
4. In the context of active consideration currently being given to the UK signing the Council of Europe Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, the British Government will in particular in relation to the Irish language, where appropriate and where people so desire it:
• take resolute action to promote the language;
• facilitate and encourage the use of the language in speech and writing in public and private life where there is appropriate demand;
• seek to remove, where possible, restrictions which would discourage or work against the maintenance or development of the language;
• make provision for liaising with the Irish language community, representing their views to public authorities and investigating complaints;
• place a statutory duty on the Department of Education to encourage and facilitate Irish medium education in line with current provision for integrated education;
• explore urgently with the relevant British authorities, and in co-operation with the Irish broadcasting authorities, the scope for achieving more widespread availability of Teilifis na Gaeilige in Northern Ireland;
• seek more effective ways to encourage and provide financial support for Irish language film and television production in Northern Ireland; and
• encourage the parties to secure agreement that this commitment will be sustained by a new Assembly in a way which takes account of the desires and sensitivities of the community.
5. All participants acknowledge the sensitivity of the use of symbols and emblems for public purposes, and the need in particular in creating the new institutions to ensure that such symbols and emblems are used in a manner which promotes mutual respect rather than division. Arrangements will be made to monitor this issue and consider what action might be required.
Substantial changes took place in terms of strategies outlining to promote language in the Northern Ireland Act (1998). In terms of the use of Irish language in schools, several measures were adopted. On 21 July 1998, the UK government issued Education (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 [1998 No. 1759 (N.I. 13)], in which the government devolved power to the Department of Education to support and promote Irish language education and Irish Medium schools. In December, the Northern Ireland government also passed the Education Act. Irish language is voluntarily used in schools and media outlets use the Irish language.
In terms of sensitivity of symbols as specified in the Good Friday Agreement, the flying of the Union flag on public buildings and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) stations had increasingly been opposed by both the unionist and the republican. In 1998, however, the Chief Constable Sir Ronnie Flanagan issued a recommendation for an immediate stop of flying the Union flag outside all RUC stations.
A Center Community Relations Unit was established to come up with a language use policy that included Irish language, establishment of the North/South Language Implementation Body in December 1999. Also, the Minister for Education in December 1999 decided not to fly a Union flag over the buildings housing the department.
After the establishment of the North/South Language Implementation Body in December 1999, the government signed on the charter for Regional or Minority Languages in 2000.
Parties hotly debated issue of flying Union flags on public buildings at the Northern Ireland Assembly in June 2000. Sinn Fein had ordered departments under their control not to fly the Union Flag.1 On 8 November 2000, the government issued the Statutory Rules of Northern Ireland (No. 347) on flags,2 which came into effect on 11 November 2000. It specified certain days and occasions the Union flag could be flown. The legislation reduced the flag flying days from 21 to 17.3

Q: Assigning text of controls from Resources in VS form desinger I have my strings present in a manually created resx file.
I am creating a new C# Windows Form in my app. In the form I create multiple labels controls.
I want to point the text of the controls to be set from resources, rather than hard coding them in the properties panel.
Is there a way to have designer generated code refer to strings from my resources ?
I have quite a few forms to be created with VS form desinger and want the strings to go from resources.
Please advise,

CalFire portrays seasonal work as a kind of internship leading to generous full-time jobs. On one hand, you're paid $10 an hour; on the other, you get that for each 72-hour shift – three days during which nothing (or everything) may happen. At the end of it, there's the chance you'll win lifetime employment with Cal Fire or another department, and retire after 30 years with a six-figure pension.
So it's no surprise that applications for seasonal work are so plentiful that CalFire accepts sign-ups for just three months, from Nov. 1 through Jan. 31.
Commenters on The Bee story included three union supporters who can be identified as firefighters. In 2014, the latest year for which such data is available, they earned $92,417; $104,114; and $166,154.
Looking around the state at their counterparts in wealthier departments has to be a shock to the average CalFire employee. Search "firefighter" on the Transparent California website, and you'll find hundreds of public-safety employees in other agencies earning over $200,000 per year.
The answer to that moral and financial outrage is not to make CalFire employees wealthy, too.

FAST COLOR Gugu Mbatha interview behind the scenes with Eric Kops
Hunted by mysterious forces, a young woman (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) with supernatural abilities must go on the run when her powers are discovered. With nowhere else to go, she flees back to her family and the farmhouse she abandoned long ago. There, while being pursued by the local Sheriff (David Strathairn), she begins to mend the broken relationships with her mother (Lorraine Toussaint) and daughter (Saniyya Sidney) and learns that the power she needed was inside her all along.
FULL SYNOPSIS
In a drought-ridden desert landscape where everyone is struggling to get by, Ruth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is on the run. She makes it to a motel where she is safe until her uncontrollable powers act up. Ruth convulses, causing a literal earthquake that reveals her hiding spot. She steals a car and hits the road, headed for the desolate town of Garrison where she grew up, a place she abandoned years ago.
She stops at a roadside diner where she meets Bill (Christopher Denham), a seemingly friendly fellow who gives her a ride when the police discover her stolen car. It quickly becomes clear that Bill's invitation was a set-up – – he's been pursuing Ruth. In a violent struggle, Ruth escapes Bill's vehicle and makes her way to a bar, where a bartender tells her about a vacant motel to spend the night.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Dean Ellis (David Strathairn), the local police captain, follows Ruth's trail from the car wreck to the bar. When Ruth returns to the bar the next morning, the bartender confides the cops have been looking for her. Ruth is left with no other option but to seek sanctuary at her mother's farmhouse where her mother Bo (Lorraine Toussaint) is raising Ruth's daughter Lila (Saniyya Sidney), who Ruth abandoned as a baby.
Ruth's return to the farmhouse is a shock, especially to Lila who has never known her mother. Lila learns the truth about her family: all three generations of women have special abilities. Bo and Lila are able to disintegrate objects into particles and spin them back together, their transformation accompanied by fast-moving streaks of color. Ruth's powers are more extensive and incited by convulsions she can't control. Ruth explains that as a teen obsessed with punk music she started doing drugs, which stopped her convulsions. When she became pregnant she felt
unprepared to care for a baby, so she left Lila with Bo and took off. Now Ruth has cleaned up, but along with sobriety her tremors have returned.
Bo and Lila slowly grow less suspicious of Ruth. Lila tries to help Ruth harness her powers, and Bo shares an old family journal that helps Ruth understand her lineage. Long-kept secrets are revealed and the women grow closer, coming into their own powers. But both Sheriff Ellis and Bill are separately on the search for Ruth. As Bill and his colleagues who want to perform science experiments on Ruth close in, her family tries to protect
her .
Ruth realizes to be safe she must move on, but before she does, she confronts Bill and the entire town in a bold move. She taps into her powers with miraculous results that nobody expects, and Bo likewise reveals her own previously hidden capacity for transforming the world. The three generations of women realize that although they are different from others, they are powerful enough to survive and proudly own their true identities and powers, which can change a damaged world for the better.

Scull, N. and Heap, G. "A Map of Philadelphia and Parts Adjacent."
After N. Scull and G. Heap. "A Map of Philadelphia and Parts Adjacent." From Thomas Scharf and Thompson Westcott History of Philadelphia, 1609-1884.
Philadelphia: L. H. Everts & Co., 1884. 14 ¾ x 11 ¾ (including title). Plus margins. Lithographic facsimile on thin bank note/chine appliqué paper. With folds as originally issued. Very good condition.
A fine 19th century facsimile map of the Scull and Heap map of Philadelphia. Perhaps the most famous map of Philadelphia, the "Scull and Heap" map went through many editions beginning in 1752. The map was initially intended as a promotion of William Penn's new city on the Delaware. When the events of the American Revolution began to heat up, illustrations of the center of the revolt, Philadelphia, became in great demand in Europe. This demand was soon met by publishers in England, Germany and France with the reissue of the Scull and Heap map, still the most up-to-date cartographic rendering of Philadelphia available.
This map is a lithographic facsimile printed in 1884 for a three volume set of the History of Philadelphia comprising 2,399 pages and organized in 59 chapters. Scharf & Westcott's massive work is the standard reference for Philadelphia history up to its date of publication containing this map and over 430 illustrations, including portraits, parks, houses, businesses, institutions, and the like.

Halloween seemed to come and go nearly unacknowledged in my house. We didn't carve the pumpkins until the Wednesday before and still haven't lit them this year. They are still forlornly sitting out on the front stoop and I'm tempted to light them belatedly over the next night or two just because.
The kids wavered on their costume choices until the week before the holiday and in the end I found myself with a gypsy, an archer, and an undefined, cloaked person wielding an axe.
Despite what seemed like a general apathy in my house toward Halloween as it approached, the night of trick or treating was fun. We spent the night walking and laughing with friends as the kids dashed from house to house. The candy haul (obviously the most important aspect of the holiday) was bountiful. Bags were dumped onto the floor and candy was consumed, bartered and boasted about until the sugar crashes and bedtime.

I installed Internet Explorer 8 the final version and I did a scan but Internet Explorer 8 isn't detected by the online vulnerability scan or the Psi program. Why isn't it detected? Just curious.
Last edited on 20th Mar, 2009 10:14 Appears IE8 final version 8.6001.18702 was released yesterday.
I have asked Secunia to add to their programmes.
I have added Internet Explorer 8.x to the database, so you should be able to see it in the "patched" tab in the PSI later today!
Last edited on 23rd Mar, 2009 03:13 Thank you but it still hasn't shown up on the Patched List.

Germany and Turkey: Bilateral Relations
17.10.2019 - Article
Germany and Turkey are linked by exceptionally wide-ranging and intensive relations in which the approximately three million people of Turkish descent living in Germany play an important role. Since 2016, however, bilateral relations have been under an increasing strain, particularly because a greater number of German citizens have been arbitrarily detained, prevented from leaving Turkey or banned from entering it since the start of 2017.
Germany is Turkey's most important trade partner and its largest foreign investor. However, German exports to Turkey declined in 2018 because of the ongoing economic crisis in the country. Over 7300 German and Turkish companies in Turkey have received German equity investment. The Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO), which was set up in 2018, and the German-Turkish Energy Forum serve as forums for dialogue between policymakers and business people from the two countries. Turkey remains a popular destination with German holidaymakers.
Turkey is an EU candidate country, and the German Government sees its accession negotiations, which began in 2005, as open-ended.
At both the EU and bilateral level, the German Government provides Turkey with support for the approximately 3.6 million Syrian refugees living in the country. Since 2012, the Federal Foreign Office has provided a total of 184 million euros in humanitarian assistance, primarily to meet refugees' basic needs (food, shelter and healthcare). Since 2015, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development has provided around 349 million euros to help refugees and Turkish municipalities that host them.
Germany's main cultural relations and education policy projects with Turkey are:
the Tarabya Cultural Academy in Istanbul, which provides artists' residencies
the German-Turkish Youth Bridge aimed at strengthening bilateral youth exchange
the Turkish-German University in Istanbul
the German schools in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir and other schools in the Schools: Partners for the Future programme

WSAF works year-round to raise awareness and push for action on human rights and the referendum in Western Sahara. Each year, much of WSAF's work focuses on the mandate of MINURSO, the UN mission for the referendum in Western Sahara.
At the end of April each year, the UN Security Council convenes to discuss the MINURSO mandate, and to decide whether to renew the mandate. For several years, the mandate has been renewed without a human rights monitoring mechanism being added. Until a free and fair referendum is carried out in Western Sahara, WSAF will continue to advocate for human rights monitoring to be included in the MINURSO mandate.
Human rights abuses are regularly reported from Western Sahara. This includes violations of freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of movement, the right to a fair trial, the right to an education, freedom from torture, and, of course, the right to self-determination.
WSAF does not have a position with regards to the outcome of a referendum, only that the process should be free and fair. This means that independence must be an option for those deemed eligible to vote by the UN.

Hunting an elusive spring roebuck.
Ian Harford travels to the beautiful Hampshire countryside hunting Roebuck, with host Owen Beardsmore of Cervus UK, for what is set to be another memorable outing.
It's just before 9 o'clock... ...The magic half hour. It's now just a matter of sitting down, being patient and waiting.
Ian has been successful on the Hampshire downs in the past, he knows that the Roebuck in this area are very elusive and that patience will be the key to success.
After an evening spent in the high seat, Ian and Owen spotted their Roebuck but light wasn't on their side and the night sky fell too quickly to get a clear shot at their buck.
Early the next morning, Ian and Owen returned to continue their hunt. Despite being out early, they spent several hours spotting and stalking until they come across their roebuck.

Os glóbulos de Bok são nuvens escuras de poeira densa e gás em que, ocasionalmente, nascem estrelas. Encontrados nas regiões H II, tipicamente, possuem uma massa de cerca de 2 a 50 massas solares, contida num espaço de, aproximadamente, um ano luz de extensão. Eles são compostos por hidrogênio molecular (H2), óxidos de carbono e hélio e cerca de 1% (de massa) de poeira de silicato. Os glóbulos de Bok, comumente, resultam na formação de sistemas estelares duplos ou múltiplos.

Inicialmente, os glóbulos foram observados pelo astrônomo Bart Bok, na década de 1940. Em artigo de 1947, Bok e E. F. Reilly aventaram a hipótese de que essas nuvens seriam "semelhantes a casulos de insetos" que estivessem submetidos a colapsos gravitacionais para formar novas estrelas, das quais nasceriam estrelas e aglomerados estelares. Essa hipótese era difícil de comprovar devido às dificuldades observacionais, que não permitiam verificar o que acontecia dentro de uma nuvem tão densa e escura. que obscurecia toda a luz visível emitida de seu interior.

A análise de observações em faixa próxima ao infravermelho, publicada em 1990, confirmou que estrelas estavam nascendo dentro de glóbulos de Bok. Outras observações revelaram que alguns glóbulos possuíam fontes de calor em seu interior, alguns continham objetos Herbig-Haro e outros mostravam derrames de gás molecular. Estudos de linhas milimétricas de emissões ondulares também forneceram evidências da atração de materiais que possibilitam o crescimento de protoestrelas por acumulação. Os glóbulos ainda são tema de intensa pesquisa. É sabido que são dos objetos mais frios no universo (cerca de -273 °C), mas sua estrutura e densidade exatas ainda constituem um mistério.
